Santa Clara, Calif. - As customer experience increasingly becomes the new battleground, midsize companies are seeking opportunities to adopt technology that will give them an advantage over their larger enterprise rivals. Avaya announced a new Customer Engagement solution that provides midsize companies with the operational intelligence needed to enhance contact center performance and drive a high-quality customer experience. Highly affordable, simple to deploy, and intuitive to use, Avaya Workforce Optimization Select enables a wide range of insights into the customer experience, allowing midsize businesses to create the most value through every customer interaction.

Survey after survey indicates that customers spend more with and are more loyal to companies that make it easy to do business.[1] Staying on top of the customer experience requires technology that gathers, measures and analyzes all touch points of the customer journey; however, the robust workforce optimization solutions capable of doing so are typically offered only to larger enterprises.

• Achieve contact center objectives with a simple and powerful workforce optimization platform that delivers enterprise capabilities at a price made for midsize company budgets.

• Generate relevant and timely insights into the customer experience - Capture and analyze voice and non-voice customer interactions with a scalable, flexible, and secure recording platform to see where service is excellent and where changes are needed.

• Define and deliver a consistent customer experience that meets company goals and customer expectations — Leverage interaction data to determine enhancements to service processes, policies, and agent practices.

"Avaya Workforce Optimization Select enables us to record 100% of our outgoing and incoming calls and then, when needed, quickly find these customer interactions to properly address customer disputes and validate customer payment promises. If you're a medium-sized business and you want a workforce optimization solution that delivers enterprise-like workforce optimization capabilities at a price point that will not break your budget, then you should choose Avaya Workforce Optimization Select."

- Jeff Kerslake, President at Common Collection Agency
